Nothing like war to drive innovation. The turret looks sci-fi.

The Berkut Golden Eagle, Russia's new tank destroyer, is reportedly equipped with advanced technology features, including: 1. _Improved Fire Control System_: Enables accurate targeting and engagement of enemy armor at long ranges. 2. _Advanced Armor_: Features composite armor and active...

Erkul is showing 27k EM stock. So you’re talking about fitting it for stealth, leaving the shield and 1 reactor off? Lowest I can see is 7.2. That is much better than I thought. The guns are still useable but no shield at all. The Sentinel numbers vary wildly but go down to 5.5 with shields...

Same conclusion I came to: the scientists involved can’t explain their quixotic interpretation of the data. I’ve seen this in the advanced propulsion research industry as well. Seems scientists often fall prey to delusions of grandeur. View: https://youtu.be/cqCudopAz64?si=4iX9QsVVIiBympqd

Did they change the armor on the Guardian or is it still +30% EM? Two months ago the EM was 27k and this is still what erkul says. Cross Section does not matter unless you ping and most players don’t ping. The larger cross section will get hit more often, but the Vanguards fly in vacuum just...

The Guardian has an EM signature of 27k while the Sentinel has an EM of 6k. The Guardian is unstealthible because of its +30% armor. Nothing is ever going to make it into a stealth craft unless CIG allows us to replace armor. They committed years ago they would, so we’ll have to wait and see...

It looks like a Guardian to me. I never have may appraisal of the Guardian. So quickly comparing against the Sentinel. Guardian is: —Smaller target — more agile —shockingly worse pilot view —twice the signature —nearly identical dps (slightly more when you don’t count the Sentinel’s turret...

So it all ends in a heap full of flames and the worst sales in the history of Disney animated to live action remakes. As many things as the public has complained about, top of the rancid heap is Rachel Zegler, who may never work again despite her impressive talents. The fact she sings so well...

My mistake. Thanks for the correction. I don’t know how I accepted that statement without checking. That’s a huge ooops. About rain in the Sahara, the statements I have heard were that there hasn’t been sufficient rain in that region for significant water erosion. I’ve heard that now from a...

I think you’re thinking of Sabine Hossenfelder. I follow her on YouTube. She is a good scientist, but has taken a lot of crap for her seemingly blind acceptance of the Climate Change narrative. As result, she has started debunking the worst Climate Change pseudo-science and taken some reproach...

IIRC, it was Edgar Cayce of Christian Science cult fame, who prophesied there was a hidden chamber beneath and between the paws of the Sphinx. Decades later someone claimed to have found it with ground penetrating radar. There was a claim the Egyptian government forbade excavation based upon...

So, here’s a thread for people to argue for their pet theories concerning the historic find that went public last Friday. In case you missed it, a couple guys created a new kind of remote sensing using Synthetic Aperature Radar (the receiver is moving so acts as an extremely wide aperature) and...

Critics are calling fans racist for ignoring Snow White at the box office. Sure. It’s our fault we don’t like whatever Disney serves up. How about we don’t need to like something intended to pervert a cherished story? Anyone could have seen this coming and it has nothing to do with racism.

Looks like the assaults have started. This is bad. Really bad. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19kLHaHrWe/?mibextid=UalRPS

Snow White hits the theaters after three years of delays, gets panned on the first night...

I have to say, the planned, indoctrinated, deliberate hating on Musk is really hurting human spaceflight. Both my brothers hate Musk but can’t give a reason why. They like electric cars, and Solar City style photovoltaics, and tunnel digging machines, and free speech, and robots, and cranial...

I’m not interested in mining, and not excited about Drake, but so like this ship. I can imagine a single pilot splitting his time between this, left in situ, and a Lancer Max stealthily flitting back and forth to processing. Lancer gives you a place to sleep. Could turn some real pesos. Only...

This would lead one to believe a future combat ATLS with be able to fly, jet-pack style. I like it!
